Supported Standards Cactus Technologies SSD is fully electrically compatible with the following specification: • ATA 7 Specification published by ANSI: X3.221 AT Attachment Interface for Disk Drives 1.2. Product Features Cactus Technologies Industrial SSD contains a high level, intelligent controller. This intelligent controller provides many capabilities including the following: • Standard ATA register and command set (same as found on most magnetic disk drives).
1.2.3. Intelligent Power Management Cactus Technologies SSDs employ sophisticated power management algorithms to conserve power. Upon completion of a command, the drive will automatically enter sleep mode if no further commands are received. In most situations, the drive will be in sleep mode except when the host is accessing it, thus conserving power. When the drive is in sleep mode, any command issued to the drive will cause it to exit sleep and respond. 1.2.4.

03 Interface Description The following sections provide detailed information on the Cactus Technologies Industrial SSD interface. 3.1. SSD Pin Assignments and Pin Type The signal/pin assignments are listed in Table 3-5. Low active signals have a “-” prefix. Pin types are Input, Output or Input/Output. Sections 3.3.1 to 3.3.4 define the DC characteristics for all input and output type structures. Table 3-5.
3.2. Signal Description Table 3-6 describes the I/O signals. Signals whose source is the host are designated as inputs while signals that the SSD sources are outputs. The SSD logic levels conform to those specified in the ANSI ATA Specification. Table 3-6. Signal Description Signal Name Dir. Description A2—A0 I -PDIAG I/O This input/output is the Pass Diagnostic signal in the Master/Slave handshake protocol.
Signal Name -IOWR Dir. I Description The I/O Write strobe pulse is used to clock I/O data on the Data bus into the SSD. The clocking will occur on the negative to positive edge of the signal (trailing edge). INTRQ O This signal is the active high Interrupt Request to the host. -RESET I This input pin is the active low hardware reset from the host. VCC -- +5 V, +3.3 V power. -IORDY O The -IORDY signal is driven by the SSD to extend the I/O cycle in progress.
3.3. Electrical Specification The following table defines all D.C. Characteristics for the SSD Series. Unless otherwise stated, conditions are: Vcc = 5V ± 10% or Vcc = 3.3V ± 10% Ta = -45°C to 90°C 3.3.1. Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol MIN MAX Units Storage Temperature Ts -65 +150 °C Operating Temperature TA -45 +90 °C Vcc with respect to GND Vcc -0.3 6.5 V Symbol MIN MAX Units Vin -0.5 Vcc + 0.5 V Vout -0.3 Vcc + 0.
h 3.4. I/O Transfer Function Table 3-7 defines the function of the operations for the SSD.
04 ATA Drive Register Set Definition and Protocol The communication to or from the FlashDrive is done using the Task File registers, which provide all the necessary registers for control and status information. The ATA interface connects peripherals to the host using four register mapping methods. Table 4-7 is a detailed description of these methods. Table 4-7.
4.2. ATA Registers 4.2.1. Data Register (Address-1F0[170]) The Data Register is a 16-bit register, and it is used to transfer data blocks between the FlashDrive data buffer and the Host. 4.2.2. Error Register (Address-1F1[171]; Read Only) This register contains additional information about the source of an error when an error is indicated in bit 0 of the Status register.
4.2.5. Sector Number (LBA 7-0) Register (Address-1F3[173]) This register contains the starting sector number or bits 7-0 of the Logical Block Address (LBA) for any FlashDrive data access for the subsequent command. 4.2.6. Cylinder Low (LBA 15-8) Register (Address-1F4[174]) This register contains the low order 8 bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 15-8 of the Logical Block Address. 4.2.7.
4.2.9. Status and Alternate Status Registers (Address 1F7[177] and 3F6[376]) These registers return the status when read by the host. Reading the Status register does clear a pending interrupt while reading the Auxiliary Status register does not.
Bit 7 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 6 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 5 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 4 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 3 This bit is ignored by the drive. Bit 2 (SW Rst) This bit is set to 1 in order to force the drive to perform an AT Disk controller Soft Reset operation. The drive remains in Reset until this bit is reset to '0'. Bit 1 (-IEn) The Interrupt Enable bit enables interrupts when the bit is 0.
Bit 7 This bit is unknown. Implementation Note: Conflicts may occur on the host data bus when this bit is provided by a Floppy Disk Controller operating at the same addresses as the SSD. Following are some possible solutions to this problem: 1. Locate the SSD at a non-conflicting address (i.e., Secondary address (377) when a Floppy Disk Controller is located at the Primary addresses). 2. Do not install a Floppy and a SSD in the system at the same time. 3.
05 ATA Command Description This section defines the software requirements and the format of the commands the host sends to the Industrial SSD products. Commands are issued by loading the required registers in the command block with the supplied parameters, and then writing the command code to the Command Register. 5.1. ATA Command Set Table 5-9 summarizes the supported ATA command set with the paragraphs that follow describing the individual commands and the task file for each. Table 5-9.

07 503-P1 Firmware Specifications The following sections describe in detail the enhanced firmware features available only in the Cactus Technologies -503-P1 series SSD devices. 7.1. CTLock™ The CTLock™ feature allows a Cactus Technologies flash card/drive to be locked to a specific host. This can be used as a basic access control or IP protection mechanism and is a simple way to implement a drive lock function without the host having to implement the full ATA Security Feature Set.
byte Description 00-31 zeroes 32-64 Lock code 65-511 zeroes If this command is issued with Bit 0 of Feature Reg. set, the drive will enable the VS Lock mode. In this mode, the drive will not response to normal ATA data transfer commands until a CTLock™ command is issued with the same Lock code and the Unlock bit set.
7.2.1. Command Structure The host can initiate a CTPurge™ operation by issuing the following Vendor Specific Command: Register 7 6 5 4 3 Features Count Sector Count Opcode Sector Number Parameter 1 Cylinder Low Parameter 2 Cylinder High Reserved Drive/Head Command 1 0 1 D 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 82h The Opcode field is partitioned into groups of 2 bits each with the following definitions: bit[7:6] These two bits determine how many sequences to perform.
7.2.2. Standard Compliance The CTPurge™ command structure allows the operation to meet a variety of specified sanitizing procedures. The table below shows the command entry for each type of specified sanitizing procedure.
7.2.3. Status Reporting When CTPurge™ is completed, the drive will return ready status but will no longer be able to process any new ATA commands as all internal firmware has been erased. 7.2.4. Time and Power Requirements The time required to perform a CTPurge™ operation depends on the capacity of the drive and the type of purge operation that is being performed. The host should ensure that power to the card/drive is maintained for the entire duration during the purge process.
7.3.1. Command Structure The CTWPROT™ command is a Vendor Specific Command with the following task file structure: Register 7 6 5 4 3 Feature Reserved Sector Count command code Sector Number N/A Cylinder Low N/A Cylinder High N/A Drive/Head 1 1 Command 1 D 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 C2h CTWPROT™ is a non data transfer command.
